ESAB welding consumables for lean duplex stainless steel

The combination of high strength and comparable corrosion resistance has made lean duplex stainless steels a cost competitive option in numerous applications where traditionally AISI 304 and AISI 316L materials are used. Typical applications are desalination plants, pipes, storage tanks, oodgates and footbridges. In certain applications such as black liquor where Mo has been found to have a negative effect on the corrosion resistance, lean duplex grades have replaced duplex grades.
Although most lean duplex stainless steel grades can be welded successfully with standard duplex 2209 type consumables, lean duplex consumables offer a more cost efcient solution while matching mechanical properties and corrosion resistance are guaranteed. To avoid excessive amounts of ferrite in the weld metal, they are higher alloyed with austenite promoting elements than the corresponding steel grades. The ESAB range of lean duplex consumables consists of: MMA/SMAW: OK 67.56 MIG/GMAW: OK Autrod 2307 FCAW: Shield-Bright 2307 TIG/ GTAW: OK Tigrod 2307 SAW: OK Autrod 2307/OK Flux 10.93 The table reviews lean duplex stainless steel grades that can be successfully welded, including some important footnotes on exceptions.
